Sir Enclosed I transmit the affidavit of Sally Fisher for another certificate of Pension. The story is shortly that the gentlemen holding the certificate refuse to deliver the original to Mrs Fisher short of eight hundred dollars . The demand is of such an exorbitant character that it strikes me that the should not pay it. Such are the facts as I understand them from a friend of Mrs Fisher, on whom I place the utmost reliance. Please give it your early attention. Very respectfully Hon Court of Pensions J. M. Givings

Act 15. May 1828
Let to Lill. Drury April 28. 1851

Pension Office,
November 26. 1853.
Sir,
Mrs Elizabeth Frisby being already in the receipt of a pension in virtue of the services of her first husband (Ebenezer Talcott) cannot cannot be allowed one, as the widow of her second husband, (Suther Frisby,) without refunding the amount she has already received, and surrendering the certificate now in her possession.
If she had never received any pension, but was now applying for pension an allowance on account of both husbands, under the acts of 1848 and 1853, respectively, she would not be permitted, under the uniform practice of the office, to draw pension in virtue of the service of one until she became entitled up to the date at which she would be entitled as widow of the second to a greater sum per annum - but would be be required to make an election at once - There is no perceptible difference in between such a case and the one now presented.

The present applicant cannot be placed in a better position than than a claimant who, with under facts present otherwise precisely similar, had actually received no pension.
Very respectfully Yours off sub

While residing in Enfield, Connecticut, he volunteered in the summer of 1776, served about six months as a private in Captain Parsons' Company, Colonel Sage's Connecticut Regiment, and was in the battle of Long Island, in the retreat from New York and battle of White Plains. In the following year, he enlisted and served three or four months in Captain Parsons' Connecticut Company. In 1778, he volunteered, served as a substitute for his brother, Joseph Talcott, as waiter to Lieutenant Booth, in the Connecticut Troops, and was in the battle of Rhode Island in General Sullivan's Rhode Island Expedition, length of service about nine months. He afterward volunteered and served a tour of about three months, dates and officers' names not given.

He died January 4, 1834 or 1835(both dates appear in the claim),

in Mesopotamia, Ohio, and his widow, Sally, married May 11 or May 14, 1840, Luther Frisby or Frisbie, who died November 19, 1842.
late Luther's wife Sally Talcott Frisbie was allowed pension on account of the services of her former husband, Elizur Talcott, on her application executed September 30, 1845, at which time she was aged seventy-eight years and resided in Mesopotamia, Ohio.
The names of the following children of Elizur and Sarah Talcott appear. Their births were recorded on the town records of Norwich, Massachusetts, about 1798.
